Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth
Eras of humanity can often be defined by a dominant transportation mode - horse drawn chariots, ocean going boats, or aircraft. These were spurred by a small group of people rigorously focused on building technology to achieve faster access to more of the world. We seek to usher in a new era of humanity defined by universal access to the whole globe free of borders and the presence of a routine way from space to Earth. To do this, we are building highly maneuverable re-entry vehicles that can loiter in orbit before precision landing back on Earth.
- Design and develop computational models of our flight systems and their operational environments to enable high-fidelity simulations of real-world scenarios to support engineering and operations workflows
- Understand the underlying physics that governs the behavior of our flight systems across various domains
- Develop models at varying levels of fidelity to accurately and efficiently simulate the critical physics
- Develop emulators for hardware components
- Contribute to the design and development of a simulation system capable of automatically provisioning and deploying resources to support simulation workflows
Candidates must meet all of the following qualifications to be considered for this position:
- 9+ years of professional experience in modeling and simulation
- Expertise in computational modeling of physical systems
- Proficiency in one or more scripting languages (Python, Lua, Bash, PowerShell, etc.)

What We Do
Inversion is developing low-cost, high cadence re-entry vehicles. Returning cargo & resources will be essential for humanity to continue to grow within low-earth orbit and beyond.
We believe in a future where returning from space is as common as launching to space.
